Process:
I made this simple layout as an exercise in fantasy. What if Ollie has a secret life when Emma and Jake go out?

I started by framing the photo and then blended both the photo and the frame into the background--I wanted to create a linear design suggesting Ollie's apartment building; to that end, I stamped on the window brush to give the feeling of looking in (in reality my daughter was sitting on the couch with Ollie when she snapped this photo).

I added the type next, using a mixture of contrasting fonts, then the buttons, threads and, for some atmosphere, a ranging snowstorm, thanks to that wonderful new Snowy Fotoblendz set. Then I added a couple of spatters that suggested pawprints.

Because the layout looked flat, I went to my go-to cure-the-flatness stragegy: artsy transfers. I selected Euphoria Artsy Transfer #3 for its lovely textures, stains, tapes, and artstrokes.

Does Ollie really play the guitar when he's left alone? We'll never know....
Hahahaha what a great page! Looking forward to the new movie The Secret Life of Pets (trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-yPuWcCykNk&ebc=ANyPxKojeTfWYia1cRFADQjr0muz4DdE2cyDlIRtqKgIZdTFsb_FnvN_sBIOeWwtlOdsw4EKMicf)
 
sweet! i bet he's great on the electric :)
those red buttons are perfect and i never ever tire of app home.
 
Oh my! I am astounded by your creativity; I've seen many stunning pages, but this is over the top for me because you asked that "what if" question and let it flow. Then you transformed the photo to answer your question. Very clever!!
